How to Improve a Child's Immunity
Disease description:
Hello doctor, a relative's child keeps catching colds. I'd like to ask on their behalf: how can we improve the child's immunity?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Aihua
1. Encourage children to exercise more: Regular physical activity can effectively boost a child's immune system, improve bodily metabolism, and enhance cellular immunity.
2. Ensure adequate sleep: Sleep deprivation not only affects a child's physical and mental health, but also impairs the normal functioning of the immune system, hindering the improvement of immunity.
3. Maintain a balanced diet: Each nutrient supports the proper functioning of the immune system. Providing children with sufficient and well-balanced nutrition keeps their bodies energized and healthy.
4. Avoid exposure to viruses: Keep the home environment free from viruses and avoid keeping pet animals that may carry pathogens. When going out, avoid areas with high incidence of infectious diseases and minimize contact with surfaces that may harbor viruses.
5. Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated helps promote metabolism and maintain the body's fluid balance, thereby enhancing a child's immune function.
